Rim Financing - Information you Need

Why Get New Rims?

Simple - adding custom rims is the absolute best way to customize the look of your car. Chrome rims or a combination of chrome and black rims really sets your ride apart. Plus sizing is an incredibly popular option as well. While the overall diameter should stay roughly the same, increasing rim diameter by 2-4" while running lower profile tires looks great and increases handling.

Should You Finance Rims?

Sure. As you'll be able to tell from this page, there are a couple of vendors we like and trust the most. Without doubt, the largest online retailer is Discount Rim Financing. They offer cheap pricing which leads to lower payments, fast and easy financing approval for rims, and never any hidden fees or charges.

What Are People Looking For?

Without sacrificing looks, cost is the driving factor in choice. It's ok to want cheap rims, as long as you're refering to cheap price, not cheap quality. By far the most popular size choice is 20 inch rims and 22 inch rims. Hot current brands include Akuza, 2 Crave, and Divinity Wheels, and many others.

Are there rim and tire financing specials for the military?

Most companies offer rim financing specials for the military. Special offers include zero down payment, 100% financing, high financing approval rates, and included debt cancellation coverage.

What rims will fit my car?

A few online sites offer fitment information live by inputing information about your car. While this sometimes works, be aware that using this greatly limits your options. Online fit calculators are very conservative, a lazy way to show you a few rims that will fit. Full service rim companies will speak with you directly and talk you through all the options. Many wheels come as blanks and can be drilled for almost any car, and many other wheels will often fit with only minor modifications required. Reputable companies will offer contact information so you know who you are going to speak with.

Is it safe to apply for credit online?

Yes, but there are two things to look for. First, make sure the company has an explicit privacy policy that described exactly how your information will be handled. Here is an example of a privacy policy. Secondly, that when applying the web form you're using has an hhtps address. The "s" at the end ensures it is an encrypted site and your information will not be subject to eavesdropping as you submit. In Internet Explorer you can also click the little padlock next to the web address in the top bar of the page, this will provide you information about the registration and security.

Understanding Tire Sizing

In case you aren't familiar with what the numbers on the tire mean, as an example you may see 185/60 R14 on your sidewall.

185 - Width of the tire measured in millimeters.
60 - Height of the sidewall measured in a percentage of the width i.e. 60% of 185mm.
14 - The measurement in inches of the diameter of the wheel itself.
